Cherry Blossoms in Wooster Square

The cherry blossoms in Wooster Square Park in New Haven are a great place to see the blooms. It's not D.C. or even Central Park, but the 72 trees which border the park are still a gorgeous sight. This year I avoided the festival itself, because there are just way too many people, and instead stopped by on a Thursday evening. The golden hour light was flooding the park, I didn't have to worry about finding parking (always a little stressful in New Haven), and there were few enough people that for a few frames, it appears I've got the park to myself.

After I took my photos I stayed, I took a stroll around the border, went down one of the more charming historic streets, and lingered in the beauty of the trees as the sun slowly went down. That hadn't initially been my plan for the evening - I was intending on snapping photos quickly then running off the the gym, but I do not regret missing that workout. The gym will always be there, but these blossoms are already gone.
